future heard talk win works
I heard that they would talk in the spring, but that's about it. I think my future is here. I like it here. I want to win here. I see myself being here, but a lot of it is out of my control. If it works out, great, but it's out of my control.
felt
I didn't know how I would feel at the plate, but I felt pretty comfortable.
five innings morning per three work
I don't see why not. At minimum, you're going to play four, five innings per game, so you're going to get your two or three at-bats. It's pretty much the same thing you do here. Work out in the morning and get your at-bats during the game.
africa easy lightly played south team
It's easy to take a team like South Africa lightly because we didn't know anything about them. But we didn't and we played well today.

At least one guy gets to go home and say he got a hit off Roger Clemens.
leaving looked pitches settled
It looked like he was going to have a 1-2-3 inning. That was impressive. The first inning, he was leaving a lot of pitches up. He settled down after that.
ball hit hitting proud
When that ball got out, it was like, man, such a proud feeling. When you hit one in the season, it's like, OK, you did your job. This was more like hitting a ball for your whole country.
chance hard postseason
The chance to go to the postseason, it's hard to pass up.
fun littles sometimes
Sometimes it's more fun to compete with your friends, because you can talk a little trash with them.
